  Interesting nose; notes of leather and earth, with a touch of green. Palate has some fruit, tart cherry of course, a touch of cranberry. Thin across the mid-palate, and a bit watery. This is a very acidic wine, with a surprisingly substantial dose of chalky tannins. The finish is rather harsh and generally uninteresting, with vegetal notes. Over time, it developed a bit of a concord grape juice note (which isn't a good thing). http://bit.ly/zdcFu2
